T.I.’s recent promo run made a stop to ESPN’s First Take on Thursday morning (Oct. 6). Sitting down with Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman and Molly Qerim, the Atlanta rapper/actor discussed police brutality on minorites, the state of America and steps the government need to take when it comes to injustice against people of color. San Francisco 49ers quaterback Colin Kaepernick was also a subject T.I. spoke on, giving his thoughts on Kaepernick’s silent protest of kneeling down during the U.S. National Anthem.

Tip also took time to touch on his politically-charged EP, Now Or Else. Hear the new project by clicking here.
